Feel the rhythm pulse and sway, where dreams and reality dismay
As drums and keys join the fray, crafting tales in a splendid array
Lost in the echoes, lost in the groove, where jazz’s heart will always prove
A connection deep, an endless love, swirling through like stars above
They say she’s lucky—famous, flawless, rich.
But they don’t see the bruises behind the glitter.
I’ve had it bad too… but not like her.
They say she’s lucky—famous, flawless, rich.
But they don’t see the bruises behind the glitter.
I’ve had it bad too… but not like her.
Velvet curtains, high-heeled dreams
Sequins stitched to silent screams
She paints her smile in cherry red
But cries in cursive when she’s in bed
They cheer her name, they want her glow
But never ask what she let go
It’s the life of a showgirl, dancing through fire
Living for love, but sold to desire
She spins in the glitter, breaks in the dark
Every ovation just hides the mark
She’s grace on a wire, tears in disguise
The life of a showgirl—truth in her eyes
Backstage roses, perfume lies
She trades her soul for lullabies
The spotlight’s warm, but never stays
She’s chasing echoes through matinee haze
I’ve had my nights, I’ve felt the sting
But I never wore pain like a diamond ring
She walks through fame like it’s a storm
I just watched from somewhere warm
She’s not your doll, she’s not your muse
She’s got her scars, she’s paid her dues
And when the curtain falls tonight
She’ll walk away, bathed in moonlight
Am I overexposed? Yes.
Do I try to make as much money as I can
Selling new trinkets to my fans?
Yeah.
But that’s just part of the life of a showgirl.
It’s the life of a showgirl, fierce and alone
Built from the ashes, carved into stone
She sings for the broken, dances for grace
Wears every heartbreak like lace on her face
She’s grace on a wire, tears in disguise
The life of a showgirl—truth in her eyes
a showgirl—truth in her eyes
grace on a wire, tears in disguise
a showgirl—a showgirl—a showgirl—truth in her eyes
grace on a wire, tears in disguisea showgirl—a showgirl—a showgirl—truth in her eyes
 tears in disguise...showgirl...showgirl....showgirl
